Conformational and Structural Investigation of Substituted Hydrocarbons and Ring Compounds by Vibrational and Microwave Spectroscopy
(2016)
The physiochemical properties of a molecule of interest are usually obtained from
its molecular structure, and it involves the orientation of one part of the molecule about a
particular bond with respect to the rest ...
Organoisocyanates: the conformational stability determination by infrared, raman and microwave spectroscopy and ab initio calculation
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2012)
) in the annealed solid but in the fluid phases most of the molecules have energies above the barriers of the two predicted bound vibrational states i.e., trans and gauche forms. For dimethylsilylisocyanate, the low wavenumber Raman spectrum of the gas with a...
